I set goals and make it happen like landing a dream job.. been to lots of great job that anyone will envy of, but later I don't want it anymore, im not happy.. I try lots of activities like sports, I even enrolled with another course then stop, and more activities.

I think you're right writing and reading it everyday and do something about it might help me... Maybe taking down notes will make me realize or evaluate what I really want in life...

I have one more question,this might be the answer for everything but im not really sure if this is really what I want or I justt don't want to admit it myself. I just want you to help me please evaluate or give me some "opinions or whatever it is called... I been working for years, started like 14 years old and still working until now.. My lifestyle is way far than before.. I can get whatever I want but im not that really materialistic.. (in short I don't have problem with money). I was thinking that maybe Im ready to get married? coz when I was in college my dream is just to be a housewife and a mother with a career.. until now I keep thinking about it more and more..... like everyday.. I think but not sure that's what I really want.I envy to women with babies, even I just saw a baby clothes, just stuff like that. I think I'll be happy with that and contented.. what do you think?

Thanks again Sir!
You can be happy now!
Without all those things you mentioned.

Just get rid of the word "IF"

This word is the unhappy word.

"I would be happy IF I have kids".

"I would be happy IF I have a husband".

The reality is if you keep using that word (IF) you will never be really happy.

I tell you you can be happy right there where you are, if you get rid of the word-if.
Don't get envy with others. Count your blessings.
You have strengths and things others do not have.
Be appreciative of what you have right now.
